Careers
FinTech is a rapidly evolving field that values adaptive and innovative individuals who aren’t afraid to take the initiative and disrupt the status quo.
Depending on your interests, as a FinTech and Data Analysis MBA graduate you could find yourself working for an online payment system, peer-to-peer lending or crowdfunding platform, online stockbroker, or robo-advisory service for individual investors, to name just a few examples.
You could also work in banking, insurance, or other financial services, or start up your own business. With our start-up hub and annual business competition, if you’ve got a great idea, you don’t even need to wait for graduation to make it happen.
We teach leadership, management, strategy and marketing skills alongside technical skills, so you’ll graduate as a well-rounded candidate ready to ascend the career ladder.
Graduation doesn’t have to be the end of your time with us. You could choose to continue your academic career with our Business PhD – School of Management or Business PhD – School of Economics, Finance and Law. Take advantage of our Alumni Scholarship and save £400 on your fees.
